The Old City

The Old City stands at the center of Freeport. Named for the original settlement that once served as a haven for buccaneers, exiles, and fugitives, it features some of the oldest structures in the city. Unlike the other districts, the Old City has its boundaries clearly demarcated: huge walls standing over 50 feet tall surround it. These walls and gates allow what remains of the Freeport Guardsmen from preventing any unsavory elements of the city from entering. They will stop anyone trying to walk in with weapons, or even anyone who doesn't look like they belong. However if you go deep enough into the twisting alleys of even this district it does not take long to find the origins of this city. Rough buccaneers, seedy taverns and inns, prostitution, and violence.

Past the gates are the cramped quarters of the Old City. The interior can be oppressive, a feeling worsened by the towering walls that block out most of the early morning and late afternoon sun. While their shade is a boon in the summer, they make it quite chilly in the winter. The walls also tend to give the whole area a claustrophobic feel. It’s all too easy for some to see the looming walls and heavy gates of the Old City as a prison rather than a fortress. For these reasons, most of Freeport’s upper crust live outside of this district, preferring the more spacious and ostentatious Merchant District.
